                               One of the errant beliefs prevalent in ignorant societies is that one
                         person's sins can be heaped upon another. For example, someone may
                         try to prevent his friends from carrying out a religious obligation and
                         say, "I will accept that sin myself." Of course that person will be commit-
                         ting the sin of preventing the carrying out of an obligation, but his friend
                         will still be committing the sin of not carrying it out. In other words, no-
                         body can lift that sin from another's shoulders. On the Day of Reckoning,
                         people will only be held responsible for their own deeds. Nobody will be
                         asked about the sins of others, and nobody's sins will be attributed to
                         anyone else. Allah told the Prophet Muhammad (saas) to explain this in
                         these terms:

                               All through history, societies that have opposed Allah, his messen-
                         gers and religion, have been destroyed by great disasters, in such a way
                         as to leave no trace of them. The end of such societies must be a lesson
                         for all people, to turn to Allah and fear His wrath.
